The Coromandel - to Opoutere




Left pretty late amongst some pretty heavy traffic but it was a bit cooler and I enjoyed the riding. Spent the night at Waihi Beach. Was going to sleep on the beach as it was fine but really windy so I ended camping in a park in front of a bunch of houses near the beach which is not something I`d normally do. Anyway it was OK and once I`d decided that I`d probably rather not be conscious as me and my tent was hurled into the sea I managed to get some sleep. Next to a picninc bench which was very convenient for breakfast. Headed on to Opoutere via lunch and a swim at Whangamata which had a great sign, all you need in the world really and the traffic slacked off soon enough so pretty good day and much cooler.
